Does Duolingo work? Why do I like it?
This is NOT sponsored by Duolingo, these are just my thoughts on the app, how I use it (sometimes) and what I think is good and what I feel is not that good. So we see a bit of the pros and cons of Duolingo based on my subjective experience.
Do you think it is possible and effective to learn a language using exclusively Duolingo?
Do you think it can be used as a complement? Is it better for certain languages?
I have used Duolingo for Italian, French, Swedish and a bit of Greek, and have friends who have used it for Spanish and English. In my experience, it is not "equally efficient" for all languages. Have you had a similar experience?
